Luckily katie had nursery this morning so at least she's been occupied and then my mum has been babysitting my niece so they came round when katie got home so iv only had to entertain her from 3pm lol. We did colouring then a jigsaw then curious george saved the day again its so hard to keep them happy when we have zero energy isnt it? Luckily oh is off work tomorrow so he can help! xx

Glad you finally got a break from entertaining hehe. Sorry to hear you were so exhausted though.

Fx'd for baby Riya kiwi. X

Ugh yes it is so hard to entertain them, madeleines made such a mess and I really can't be bothered to tell her to clean up because it's keeping her quiet right now

Thank you

lol, I know this is totally what I have to look forward to. Hopefully by the time she is old enough to make a mess we will have a play room all setup.

Hope Riya is ok Kiwi. Enjoy your cuddles tomorrow xx

Thanks so much UB

Aww yeah hope you enjoy your cuddles! (obviously will )

I feel soooo thirsty tonight, I feel like I want to just down lots of fizzy things x

Thank you

I feel like that even when I am not pregnant lol. It tends to hit me at night when I am sleeping go figure lol.

Hey ladies, it always takes me so long to read and catch up.
Kiwi, glad Riya is doing well and gained some weight. Praying the spot is nothing to worry about.
Ladies, I hope your sick little ones get better soon and you too Carly.

Last Wednesday I had my exam with the Dentist, and after wards had pain all the rest of the week. So on Monday, I ended up having my wisdom out and got to camp out on the sofa for 2 days. That was lovely. Then today my Dr's office called to tell me that starting at 32 weeks, I have to have weekly ultrasounds and growth checks until baby is born. I swear sometimes I think they just want to get as much money from my insurance co as possible. 2 weeks ago my dr had me do a 24 hour urine test because she wanted to check my kidneys. But when the nurse called with my results, she told me the doctor wanted to see if I was having blood pressure problems. Of course everything keeps coming back normal. I feel like she wants something to go wrong.

Thank you so much

My doctor's office was actually planning to do the same thing for me had I made it to 32 weeks.

Here is a little treat for you ladies! OH managed to get a good picture of her looking right at him! She is so precious .

Pinkbabi - why do they want to do so many scans? I forget how lucky we are in the uk to get free health care, it must be really tough to have to pay for everything. X

Kiwi - how's Riya doing today x

 

[UniqueBeauty]

My gosh Kiwi, she's gorgeous! look at those eyes!

Strange, my dentist wouldn't touch my teeth until I've had the baby because apparently the gums bleed too much, luckily I'm in no pain so I'm not that bothered lol.

Jayden was a little bit better at nursery today, didn't want to go but once I got him in there he was okay, looked like he was going to cry when he said "Bye Bye, Mummy" Awww x

 

[Mummy to be x]

Glad Jayden was a bit better today UB. It's awful when they get upset it makes you feel rubbish doesn't it x

 

[ab75]

Glad J was better today. He'll know that he's going to have heaps of fun.

Yeah, lol, my bf is 18 years older than me. Dh was friends with her daughter and her then fiance, she kept asking me to meet him, so, after a lot of persuasion I agreed. Been together ever since. We get on great, hardly ever argue or anything. I love him to bits lol xx

 

[ab75]

It only gets expensive if you don't have insurance. Most people have insurance in the US, at least those of us that have babies. Sometimes you will have to pay a small percentage of the bills but they let you pay it off over time based on what you can afford. Also, you can never be refused medical treatment in an "emergency situation". So sometimes people just rack up those bills and never pay them That is if they don't have insurance. If you don't have insurance, you can most likely get approved for government insurance. Which is pretty good, at least mine pays 80% of my bills. Then lets say if you have insurance that pays 80%, you can get a different supplemental insurance that will cover the remaining 20% so you won't have to pay anything out of pocket other than the monthly cost of insurance which can range from $150-$400 or more. There are many programs out there that will help some people to cover that cost. However, the steep cost of insurance monthly payments is nothing compared to what it would cost if you had to pay everything out of pocket. For example, my maternity care as a whole costs like $30,000 not including the $30,000 for my baby in the NICU, it is usually $20,000 but because she is getting "better care" than most other hospitals with a NICU the price goes up. Thank god she qualifies for government insurance which will pay all of that for me (the NICU stay).

UB, i bet it melted your heart when he said that to you

AB, wow what a cute way to show off your journal! I am so stalking . I wish I knew how to use fancy text like that lol.

 

[Kiwiberry]

AB, I met my OH through a mutual friend of ours on facebook lol.

 

[ab75]

Kiwi, I couldn't even tell you how to do it, lol, someone on another thread did it for me. Go onto "sticking together until we all get bfp's", thats the thread that she explained it on! Sorry but I'm useless with techno stuff haha xx

[Kiwiberry]

You should Mummy!! It is really nice to have a place to put all your thoughts without spamming up other threads lol. Even though I still spam up other threads .
